AVI-Moldova had the privilege to receive a high-level delegation from the EU during the period 20-23 June 2007.

The delegation, composed of the Head of the Youth Division of the EU, Mr Philippe Cova, as well as

the responsible person for EVS exchanges, Ms Cecilia Lo Piparo Liljegren, made the field visit in order

to evaluate on-going EVS projects via talks with organisers, project hosts and current long-term volunteers.

They were also interested to see and investigate the results of YTNF.

Detailed discussions focused on subjects such as:

• the role of the host organization in running an EVS program
• the need for an EVS in a project
• the concrete results after an EVS leaves
• future EVS opportunities
• administrative issues

At the end of the visit, both AVI and the EU officials expressed their satisfaction at the mutually useful and rewarding nature of their talks.
